Windows 2000 in QEMU

Why would you want to use Windows 2000

very stable
easy to use
low system requirements
runs faster than Windows XP in QEMU.

Suggested command-line

 qemu-system-i386 -hda <hard drive file> -m 384 -boot c -vga cirrus -net nic,model=rtl8139 -net user
 -usb -soundhw sb16 -localtime

Compatibility Issues

The default vga card does not work well. Use "-vga cirrus" to have a fully functioning vga card
Use "-soundhw sb16" or "-soundhw ac97" for an audio card
Use "-net nic,model=rtl8139 -net user" to enable networking
Avoid using the i82557b NIC because it crashes Windows 2000

Programs you may want to use

Doom 95 game demo
Winamp - audio player
.NET 2.0 runtime
SharpDevelop 2.2 - free IDE for developing applications using C#, Visual Basic, and other languages
DJGPP - GCC, GDB, and other developer tools for Windows

Tips

You can send control-alt-delete to Windows by opening QEMU's monitor window and typing "sendkey ctrl-alt-delete". QEMU's monitor window can be accessed by typing control-alt-2.
The task manager can be accessed by typing taskmgr under Start->Run.
